GUN CLUB Miami

The Gun Club plays for keeps. Their songs crackle like dry corpse skin turning to parchment under the caress of a rattlesnake belly. Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Gun Club's leader and songwriter, is a Texan, and the . hollow wind of the prairie echos painfully through his tortured, shrieking vocals. When he sings you can almost feel an eroding riverbed beneath your feet and sense the frenzy of a man about to .collapse like some sun-baked sharefcropper's shack after running too long and too hard to escape from a terror he doesn't quite realize is being carried within the confines of his own wounded heart.
